Our is School is located on a main street in "El Barrio Gothico" beside the famous Gaudi Cathedral. It is a short walk from the well-known "Las Ramblas" district, a wonderful, vibrant part of the city where street vendors and performers vie for your attention. Las Ramblas is a tree-lined pedestrian thoroughfare, which runs from Barcelona's port, and is a major attraction. Here you might encounter spray-paint artists, Flamenco dancers, guitarists or buskers. There is also the open pet market with exotic birds, lizards, and other animals.

Our school occupies the 2nd and 3rd floor of a beautiful, newly renovated building, (said to be the first building erected on the street). You can see from the photo gallery, the school offers a bright, modern atmosphere with new furnishings, facilities and computers.
